IMPORTANT UPDATES In 2021, the federal government passed the American Rescue Plan into law which includes provisions that expands benefits for those enrolled in or looking to enroll into ACA Marketplace plans. These benefits were further expanded upon by the Inflation Reduction Act which was signed into law in 2022. These benefits include: Expansion and an increase in Advance Premium Tax Credits (APTCs) which help enrollees cover insurance premiums on health care plans purchased through the Marketplace. You might be eligible for one of these credits if you meet all of the following: Will have an annual household income above 400% of the federal poverty level Will not file a Married Filing Separately federal income tax return Must file a federal income tax return or be claimed as a tax filer’s dependent Must be enrolled in coverage through a Marketplace for one or more months of the year Are not eligible for or enrolled in other minimum essential coverage such as Medicaid or Medicare If you qualify for Medicare, the Inflation Reduction Act will save you money in the following ways: Medicare Part D improvements: Will have their insulin capped at $35 a month Will be able to access recommended vaccines such as the shingles vaccine at no cost Will have out-of-pocket costs capped at $2,000 a year Will have the option to make use of the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan which will allow enrollees the option to spread their out-of-pocket prescription drug costs out throughout the year Expansion of the low-income subsidy program (LIS or “Extra Help”) under Medicare Part D to 150% of the federal poverty level starting in 2024 INFORMATION FOR DACA RECIPIENTS Important update for DACA recipients & consumers with certain other immigration statuses On December 9, 2024, the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota issued a preliminary injunction in Kansas v. United States of America (Case No. 1:24-cv-00150) partially blocking implementation of a final rule. This final rule allowed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and individuals in certain other noncitizen groups to enroll in a qualified health plan (QHP) through the Health Insurance Marketplace® (if otherwise eligible) for plan years 2024 and 2025, effective on November 1, 2024. As a result of the preliminary injunction, Marketplace enrollment has been placed on hold for these groups in the 19 states that are involved in the lawsuit. These states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. All of those states except Idaho, Kentucky, and Virginia are served by the Federal Marketplace platform on HealthCare.gov . To comply with this court order, DACA recipients and other noncitizens covered by the rule who reside in the above 19 plaintiff states shouldn't attest to having eligible immigration status in applications for Marketplace coverage. To further comply with the Court’s order, on December 26, 2024 the Marketplace will make a technical change so that DACA recipients and those other noncitizens covered by the rule who attest to lawful presence aren’t eligible for Marketplace coverage in the 16 states above served by HealthCare.gov . Following that technical change, the Marketplace will cancel any enrollments for 2025 Marketplace coverage selected by DACA recipients and other noncitizens covered by the rule in the 16 states. The insurance company will refund any premiums paid for that 2025 coverage. DACA recipients and those other noncitizens covered by the rule who enrolled in 2024 Marketplace coverage will have their Marketplace enrollment terminated at the end of the month and won’t have Marketplace coverage starting in 2025. The Marketplace will send a letter about ineligibility for coverage to DACA recipients and those other noncitizens covered by the rule in the 16 states. We encourage impacted consumers who had a change in their immigration status since they applied for Marketplace coverage to update their Marketplace application with their new immigration status. Check back for updates before January 15 when Marketplace Open Enrollment ends . On October 30th, 2024, the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) in partnership with the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) held a webinar to discuss the new eligibility of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to enroll in Affordable Care Act (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace plans. Experts discussed necessary information for DACA recipients to understand their options for enrollment, the Special Enrollment Period, and how and where they can reach assistance for coverage. This information is current as of October 30th, 2024. In May of 2024, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published a final rule allowing Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to enroll into health coverage through the Marketplace. DACA recipients will be able to enroll into a Marketplace plan on November 1, 2024. DACA recipients will also be eligible for premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions (CSRs) which can make health coverage more affordable. If you are a DACA recipient you are eligible for a special enrollment period, please see the dates below: Special Enrollment Period for DACA Recipients, Key Dates: November 1, 2024 : Open Enrollment starts for 2025. November 15, 2024 : Enroll by this date for coverage that starts December 1, 2024. December 1, 2024 : Coverage begins for 2025 plans chosen by November 15, 2024 Information for Disaster Victims If you live in an area where an emergency or disaster has been declared and that has impacted your ability to sign up for or switch or drop your plans during open enrollment, you may be eligible for a special enrollment period. During a FEMA declared major or emergency disaster event, individuals living in affected areas qualify for a special enrollment period. Click here to get disaster declaration information for your area or visit Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or call 1-800-621-FEMA (1-800-621-3362) for a list of impacted areas, TTY users can call 1-800-462-7585. For those living in Hurricane Milton or Hurricane Helene disaster areas and who are unable to enroll into or change their Marketplace plans during regular open enrollment, may qualify for a special enrollment period. Individuals will be given 60 days starting from the end of the FEMA designated incident period to enroll into a new Marketplace plan or make changes to their existing plan. To enter into this Special Enrollment Period, contact the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 ; TTY: 1-855-889-4325.

JULY 7, 2023 PRESS RELEASE APIAHF APPLAUDS THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION’S PLAN TO CRACK DOWN ON SURPRISE JUNK FEES IN MEDICAL SERVICES JULY 7, 2023 WASHINGTON —Today, President Biden announced a series of new actions to lower health care costs and eliminate loopholes for surprise junk fees in medical billing for American families. Juliet K. Choi, president and CEO of APIAHF, issued the following statement: “We applaud the Biden-Harris administration for taking additional steps to protect American families from predatory billing. Medical debt is a serious issue for all communities and disproportionately harms communities of color. Language about Medical billing and accessing insurance can be particularly confusing for immigrant communities – and is more challenging for those that are limited English proficient. According to the U.S. Census, nearly 10 percent of Asian American households carry medical debt. “The Biden-Harris administration has continued to deliver critical relief to Americans, especially in communities that face disparate health outcomes. We are cautiously optimistic that future policies will uplift hard-working immigrant families and marginalized communities facing unnecessary challenges in accessing care and rising health care costs.” # # # The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) influences policy, mobilizes communities and strengthens programs and organizations to improve the health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.

During her tenure, she prepared the introduction of the Health Equity and Accountability Act – the landmark health equity bill of the Congressional Tri-Caucus, led the caucus’ engagement in successfully strengthening questions on the U.S. decennial census and other federal government forms to better represent and serve all AANHPI populations, and helped secure the removal of discriminatory anti-Asian measures from major legislation.
